PRO BASKETBALL; Elliott Wants To Play Again

Sean Elliott, who helped the San Antonio Spurs win the National Basketball Association title in 1999, is leaning toward returning for another season with the team, The San Antonio Express-News reported today.

The forward told the newspaper that he would soon return to San Antonio and set up a meeting with the Spurs.

''Am I 99 percent sure I'll be back?'' Elliott said in a telephone interview with The Express-News ''Well, maybe not 99 percent -- but it's sure way up there.''
